How To Be Unshakable
Sermon Notes
Everything that can be shaken is being shaken. But no matter how much trouble comes, if you have built your life on the Rock of Jesus Christ, you cannot be shaken!
Key Scriptures:
Hebrews 12:26-29; Matthew 7:24-27; Hebrews 11:7; Matthew 16:17-19; Genesis 2:21-24; Leviticus 17:11; II Kings 23:20-21; John 19:34-36
Key Points:
- Foundations matter. When people walk into a room, they tend to look at the carpet or the furniture, but it’s the structure that holds everything up.
- The old method is the best for longevity. If you want to build something that’s going to last, you can’t use a quick “pop-pop-pop” air nail gun. If you’re going to build a church, you must use the same hammer and nails that put Jesus on the Cross, not the quick air nail guns; we don’t need a new gospel! A good structure and foundation will protect you from the storms of life.
- Jesus used a hammer and nails. Jesus became a man and waited 30 years before preaching any sermon or performing any miracle. After 3 and a half years, he used the hammer and nails that put him on the Cross to build a storm shelter of salvation that will withstand any attack Hell throws at you!
- Noah used a hammer and nails. Noah built the Ark for 120 years with a hammer and nails. He and his family went in a minority but came out a majority. And the only thing the flood did was get rid of his critics.
- Don’t let the world mess with the structure of the family. The last generation put a man on the moon; this generation is putting men in women’s locker rooms. If the foundation is destroyed, everything else will crumble.
- You will not know you gave up too much until it’s too late and the storm is upon you. Samson drank wine, married Delilah, touched dead things, and allowed his hair to be cut when he was forbidden to do so. But he realized too late that he had messed up. You can’t mess with the structure of your relationship with God for too long before it messes you up.
- The life of the flesh is in the blood, but blood comes from the bones. If you start changing the structure of the Church by putting rainbow flags in the front of churches and accepting sin, you’re cutting off the life-giving power of the Blood of Jesus.
- God can change how you walk. When Jacob wrestled with God, He pulled his hip out of place and changed his walk. Counseling or a program can’t change your structure; you need Jesus to do that.
- Resurrection is always attracted to structure. The dead soldier that was thrown onto the bones of Elisha came back to life! When Jesus was crucified, his bones were never broken. His flesh was vehemently beaten to provide salvation. But the structure of Jesus’ bones was never broken because resurrection is always attracted to structure. You must not give up the structure of your faith.
Final Thoughts:
No matter what you may have lost or gone through, if you still keep the structure of your faith, building your life on the Rock of Jesus Christ, there is resurrection power coming to your life! No matter what the Enemy has done, God can still put you back on your feet.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello, I'm Jensen Franklin, and I'm so glad you're watching
Real America's Voice, and I want to encourage you today
to know that Normally, I know you're used to seeing
the news being broadcast twenty four hours a day all
over the world, but the founder of this network wanted
to take some time on this Sunday and bring some
(00:24):
good news to all the other news. What you do
with the next few moments can affect the years ahead
of your life.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Selena, in listen to this message.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I believe it's going to speak to you, and you're
going to encounter a God who loves you and cares
about you this very moment. If you have your Bibles,
open them with me to the Book of Hebrews, the
twelfth chapter. Hebrews Chapter twelve is where I want to
(00:57):
go this morning, and I want to read a couple
of verses there. I'll begin with verse twenty five of
Hebrews Chapter twelve. This is a great church. It's wonderful
to be here today, it really is. I love this place,
don't you. I love the people, I love the church,
(01:20):
love what God is doing. There were times during the
pandemic where I wondered if I'd ever see the rooms
filled again, I really did. I think every pastor had
that haunting thought that it'll never be the same. But
look what the Lord is doing and has done. To
God be the gold. Let's go down to verse twenty
(01:45):
seven of Hebrews chapter twelve. Now, this yet once more
indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken,
as of things that are made, that the things which
cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we're receiving a
(02:08):
kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace by
which we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I'm so thankful today.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
What he's saying in the first verse is everything this
man made in temporary.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
It's being shaken. We're living in that time.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
We don't know what the next seven months are going
to bring. I feel an uneasiness just a little bit.
What is coming. We've got wars all over the world,
We've got things happening internally. Everything that can be shaken
is being shaken. But we have received the kingdom. Now,
(03:03):
if you haven't, you can't shout on that part. But
if you have received a kingdom that cannot be shaken.
And my family's in that kingdom, my marriage is in
that kingdom, my life is in that kingdom. And it
does not mean that we're immune.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
From trouble and storms and.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Difficulties and adversities. But whatever life brings, I have received
a kingdom, a structure, a foundation that cannot be shaken.
I want to preach today on how to be unshakable,
(03:44):
because you see, the foundation that we build our life
on matters. That's why in Matthew seven it talks about
there are only two foundations that people build their homes
and their lives on. He talks about building your home
on the rock. And he said, and when the rain
(04:06):
descended and the floods came, and the winds blew and
beat on that house, it didn't fall, for it was founded.
It was structured on the rock. But to every one
of these sayings of mine who hears it and they
don't do them, They're like a fool who builds their
house on sand and the rain descended, the floods came.
(04:30):
Notice they go through the same thing. We're not immune.
We don't get a get out of free, get out
of jail, free, get out of pain, free, get out.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Of suffering free card.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Because we're Christians, we're gonna all go through it in life.
But the only difference between the two is what they're
building their lives on. One is sand and one is
the rock. And it said that the one on sand
fell and it was a great fall. The other one
stood through the extreme storm. And you walk into a
(05:05):
room like this in any of our campuses or any home,
you seldom think of structure. You seldom think of foundation.
It really doesn't matter to you. You don't care about
what's under the cement.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
The rowbar, rubar, the.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I'm not a builder, obviously, but you don't think about
all that stuff. Even this building, there's steel and stuff
and all kinds of things that you can't see.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
It's the structure of the building that makes it stand.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
You see the carpet, you see the seats, you see
the stage, you see the lights, etc. But it is
the structure support that holds everything up. It's just like
your body. You see the outward part, the skin, the face,
the hair, the clothes, but it's your skeleton, which is
your structure. If you lose that, you have nothing, You
(06:06):
have nothing. The same is true of a church. The
same is true of a home. And the amazing thing
about storm shelters, extreme storm shelters is when they're giving
the way that they have to be constructed, they're told
(06:28):
not to use air nail guns. I thought that was
interesting that when you're building a hurricane shelter, a shelter
that must absolutely guarantee that it's gonna be there. It'll
be there through terrible storms and hell force winds. There's
(06:51):
nothing wrong with an air nail gun. A nail gun,
there's nothing wrong with it. Pop pop pop pop pop pop,
pop this up quick. I think it's a brief an invention,
and that's good if you want.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
If you want something for.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Ten years, twenty years, thirty years, it might last fifty.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Years with a nail gun. Pop pap pap, pap pap.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
But if you're gonna build something that's gonna endure the
most extreme worse storms, you gotta go not with the
new modern tools that run on batteries, but you gotta
get the old hammer and nail out. It's pretty amazing.
(07:37):
The old method is the one that you want to
trust when the storm comes, when all hell is breaking loose.
I don't need to know that. My whole life is
built on just a pop pop pop of a little
bit of religion. But I need that old hammer and
that nail and that cross. I need something that will
(08:01):
outlast the storm.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
If you're just building a.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Temporary church, pop pop pop, the latest, greatest whatever. But
Free Chapel is not a temporary church. I am not
a cutting edge preacher, and I'm not up here trying
to build a fly by, drive by church. I still
(08:27):
believe the church is essential. I still believe that without
the church, the nation goes to hell. I still believe
without the church, the family disintegrates. I still believe without
the church, the gates of Hell will prevail. And if
(08:48):
you're just building a temporary church, and we've seen them,
pop pop pop pop, use the air gun and it'll
be fine, and it'll last for a little while, and
then like the Tower of Babel, it'll fall. You're not
interested in building that kind of church. If you're going
to build a safe structure that will withstand the storm,
(09:12):
you don't need new gadgets, you don't need new methods.
You need a hammer and you need a nail. You
need something that you know will withstand the storm.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I'm not building a garage.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I can't just have pop pop pop religion. Just come
on Sunday pop and that's it.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And I'm good.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
But it's the hammer in the nail because the carpenter
son said, I will build my church. In Matthew sixteen,
I will build my church, and I'm not gonna use
a nail gun. I God Almighty, am gonna come in
a skin suit.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
To planet Earth.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Bible said Jesus thought it not robbery to be equal
with God. In other words, and then it said all
of the Godhead was in him, all of God put
on an Earth's suit. And for thirty years he did
(10:22):
not preach a sermon. He created the universe, He hung
the world on nothing, He spoke the world into existence,
created man, but now his own planet Earth.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
In skin and flesh and.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Blood, Jesus was one hundred percent out. The flesh part
of Jesus was one hundred percent man, the spirit part
was one hundred percent God. And for thirty years he
doesn't heal, he doesn't do anything. Why because it's not
a pop pop pop nail gun deal. He's building. And
(11:04):
for three and a half years he goes and then
he says, I'm gonna build me a church, and the
devil didn't know that. The thing that he was gonna
use was a hammer, three nails, and two beams called across,
and he said, that will become the structure that if
(11:26):
you build your life on, if you flesh out your life,
as long as the foundation and the structure of your
life is that cross and that hammer and those three
rusty nails and the blood that I shed, I promise
you it's a storm shelter that will withstand anything hell
(11:48):
can bring against you and your family. The Bible put
it like this in Isaiah. No weapon form against you
shall prosper. I want you to clap your hands if
you believe in the foundation that is unshakable. I want
(12:11):
to hear today the words of Jesus. I will build
my church. The gates of hell will not prevail. The
Church is not these buildings. The church is you. The
church is you and your marriage. The church is you
and your family. The church is your children and your grandchildren.
I will build my church with a hammer and a nail.
(12:34):
And it's not gonna be quick. You'll go through things
and sometimes you pray and it's pop pop, and you
get a quick answer. But you know, you're really getting
strong when God allows the hammer and nail to start.
And the hammer and nail is blood, sweat and tears.
The hammer and nails sometimes you miss and it's bloody,
and it's hurtful, and it's painful, and you're suffering, and
(12:56):
you're going.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Through long days and long nights.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
And it's and it's just exhausting. But when God doesn't
give you the quick pop pop nail gun answer, know
that He's building a structure in your family for generations.
This isn't a quick throw up garage. This is a
generational blessing. And every time you open up this book,
(13:20):
you're using the hammer and the nail, and every time
you come to church. It's not just a pop pop,
But this is what we do. This is who we are.
This is what family is supposed to do. Is bring
your family and worship. You are building an eternal house. Hello,
(13:47):
I'm Jensen Franklin, and I want to welcome you to
Real America's Voice. There's something that's gonna happen. I believe
as you watch this program, lean in, listen, and let's
see what God can do in your life. Noah was
commanded by God to build an art for the saving
(14:09):
of his family, The text said, and it was not
a nail air gun. It was a hammer and nail approach.
And it took him one hundred and twenty years. Can
you imagine the people who were making fun off them.
Can you imagine the people who were saying, how stupid?
(14:31):
Why do y'all still go to church? Why do you
still pray? Why do you steal fast? Why do you
still read the Bible. I'm telling you we're living in
that time where the little nail gun religion of just
go to church on Easter and go to church and
love God in your own way and do your own thing.
But there's something to the old method of the hammer
(14:53):
and the nail and just saying we're going, we're going,
And especially if you want a house that's gonna endure.
I cannot promise you you won't go through stuff. I
cannot promise you you kids won't go through stuff. I
cannot promise you your marriage won't go through stuff. I
can promise you that if you're building it on the
right structure and foundation, Hell can hit you with its
(15:17):
best shot. The old wolf, the devil can huff and puff,
but he will not blow your house down because Jesus himself,
the carpenter's son said the gates of the hell. It's
a guarantee your family and your home will still be standing.
Turn to somebody and say, you've got the guarantee.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
That's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I love that when Noah built it, got his family
on inside of it. Everybody was maulking them and making fun.
But you know, the storm came. And when the storm came,
they went in a minority. But they can em out
a majority, and the only thing the storm did was
(16:05):
get rid of their critics. I'm telling you that we
have a structure, folks. I can't even promise you the government.
I can't even promise you the nation is going to
be remaining one hundred years from now. But should the
Lord Terry his coming, the church that he is building
(16:26):
will be alive. It's alive in China, it's alive in Ukraine,
it's alive in Russia, It's alive.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
All over the world.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
They can't snuff it out because it's.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Built to last.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
All of the adjustments the world wants us to make.
They're messing with the structure of the family. God created
them male and female. And when you tell eight years old. Now,
are you sure you want to be a female even
(17:06):
though you're a biological female. You can choose, and if
you don't want to be, we can get some surgery.
You're messing with the structure of the family and even
creation itself. You're messing with the structure. This is dangerous.
(17:28):
These are perilous times. And if you don't agree with it,
and it goes against the core values of who you
are and what you believe, you're somehow a bigot. No,
I'm a person of faith who's building my family upon
the word of God, the rock solid foundation. My generation,
(17:53):
my generation put a man on the moon. This generation
is putting men in women's locker rooms. That's messing with
the structure. That's the skeleton. If you mess with the skeleton,
the whole body collapses and it doesn't happen overnight. But
we're messing with the skeleton. This is not an evil
(18:15):
mean preaching. This is not some kind of This is
not even political. This is biblical. He created the male
and female. And I'm sorry, but the marriage that is
build on the rock is the marriage between a man
and a woman. The marriage that is built on the
(18:39):
rock is the marriage that honors God and says, I
believe in freedom, live like you want to.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Live, but ask for me. In my house, we will
serve the Lord.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I cannot be silent about that.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
It's the structure.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Anything else is sinking saying, come on, now go God.
We cannot just sit back and see the Ten commandments.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Malt, thou shalt not kill.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
The Bible said, if the foundations are destroyed, what will
a nation and a church do and the people of
God do if the foundations the foundations are the foundations,
the structure. We're removing that. We're saying, Ah, thou shalt
(19:36):
not steal. But if you want to go in and
take what you want, because life's not fair, that gives
you a right. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not kill,
Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not sleep with
your girlfriend, your boyfriend. Thou shalt not lie. I shall
(20:01):
honor Thy father, my mother. I shall have no other
gods before me. Well, we don't need to be so absolute,
Yes we do. Neither is there any other name given
whereby men can be saved but the name of Jesus.
I don't know what to tell you. That's that's the foundation.
(20:21):
You cannot mess with the structure. If you mess with
the structure, And what is wrong with the Church is
that we're allowing our foundations and our structures were and
we're so afraid that that we're gonna be penalized in
the workplace or wherever that we're not speaking up.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
But as Christians, we're in a.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Time where we have to say, mm hmm, I'm gonna
stick with the sure foundation. You know, I'm gonna build
it like our forefathers did. Even this nation, it wasn't perfect.
(21:04):
The flesh part is not the but the structure. When
you start dismantling the structure, even of the constitution, the
structure of the Supreme Court, the structure of justice, the structure,
it's going to be filled with abuses. But it's the
structure that makes this nation great. It was built by
(21:30):
people who came and they were not flawless. They had
terrible flaws, but they came saying we want one nation.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Under God. On your money, in God we trust.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
It says that now, if you want to move that
structure out, get ready for a collapse of the economy,
because in God we trust, Oh God, helped me to preach,
and I picked a wrong sermon to preach for the
first time in a new church.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
But so be it.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I'm tired of I'm tired of sugar coating it, and
I'm tired of being quiet. No, this book is right,
this book is on, this book is real, this book
is alive. Culture should not change the church. Culture should
not change the Christian love everybody.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
But stand for what you stand.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I want to ask you, because the problem is.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
You don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
The sad reality is you will not know when you
gave up too much until it's too late and the
storm is upon you. Sampson made a Nazarite vow that
he would not drink wine.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
It was his personal conviction.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
It was a vowel he made to God, and God said,
that's the deal I will honor. I won't drink wine,
I won't touch dead things, I won't cut my hair.
And that's my vow to you of consecration. The next
thing you know, he's drinking the little wine. He's touching
(23:17):
dead things. There's a line the slain and he's reaching
down getting honey out of it, touching dead things. He's
sleeping with his girlfriend Delilah whoops, and I can see
him going back in the gym.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I can still press six hundred. You won't know when
your powers left you once you start.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Messing with the structure of your relationship and convictions with God.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Oh, come on here.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Now once, just keep on comp a little here, a
little there, a little here, a little there. And then
one day the foot You don't know, Samson, how weak
you've become, because it can be deceiving. But suddenly the
felicita and he wished not he's you took himself like
he did other times, but it wasn't there because he
had messed with the structure.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
So much that the spirit had left.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
I'm simply trying to preach to you today that the
structure really matters, the foundation matters. How much music, filthy
music can you listen to before it affects the structure
of who you are? How much filthy pornography can you
look at? And in my generation it was behind the counter,
(24:40):
but in this generation it's in your pocket. And I
shudder for especially the young men, because we didn't have
access to it, but now it's there. So how long
can you mess and dabble with stuff? How long can
you run with the wrong friends. You still can come
church and feel God's presence, and you still I'm not
(25:03):
questioning your relationship with God, but what I am questioning
is how long can you sustain it as you make
more and more and more structural changes about who you
are and the convictions of what you were raised in
that you know are right. But somehow I'll shift this
and change this and change this, and before you know it,
you're not the person you used to be. I tell
(25:28):
you that fear I fear. That's the fear of the Lord.
We need the fear of the Lord back in the church.
We need to We need to understand that anybody can fall,
but unto him who is able to.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Keep us from falling.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
If we stay connected to the skeleton, which is Jesus,
the flesh may fail, but it'll always get back up.
Of course, the structure and foundation is solid. God put
Adam to sleep, and he reached in his side, opened
(26:04):
up his side, and pulled a real bout. You know
why he put out him to sleep because God didn't
want his opinion on how to make his bride.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
And I think that church out now, I believe that
church out. I believe that.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
God's not asking your opinion about his bride. He know
he's a carpenter, and he said, I'm gonna do it
with a hammer and a nail, And I don't care
if you like it or not. You either gonna repent
and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for
the remission of sins and received the Holy Spirit, and
get into my word and love me and forgive and
walk in forgiveness and holiness and separation and live for
(26:45):
me or not. You, I don't care, but you're not
gonna get your opinion is not gonna change. This guy
with the hammer and the nail building the church and
creating a bride.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
And he forms Eve.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Out of the structure of Adam, and he brings her
to him.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
That was and then.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Adam wakes up and he says, your bone of my bone,
your flesh of my flesh, and power comes from that structure.
Did you know that the Bible said in Leviticus that
the life of the flesh is in the blood, and
life comes from blood, and blood comes from your bones.
(27:41):
Bone marrow is what produces blood. And so if you
play around with the structure of the bones, you're going
to get in trouble. The bone structure can choke off
the blood supply. Don't play with the bone structure when
(28:01):
we put when we put rainbow flags out in front
of our church, we're playing with the structure of the
church that Jesus built, and that's choking off the blood.
The bone is what produces the blood. Hello, I'm Jensen Franklin,
(28:30):
and I want to welcome you to Real America's voice.
If you'll give me the next few moments and listen,
you're gonna have the opportunity, I believe, to have a
moment that can change your life. Love everybody, Accept everybody.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
You're welcome here.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
But I'm not going to change the message, the structure,
the foundation. Repent and be baptized and be born again,
and the old things passed away, and behold all things
become you. I could be an adulter, but I've been
born again. I could be alike, but I've been born again.
(29:16):
Same thing for any other lifestyle. Do you know there's
a story in the Old Testament where they didn't handle
the bones of a king right and God sin of famine.
Because when you start changing the structure of a house
(29:37):
and a nation and a home that God has built.
It won't last. Jacob strutted into Bethel and wrestled with God.
He walked in, Jacob and wrestled with God. And God said,
I'm gonna change you, boy, but I'm gonna change you
structurally first, and he pulled his hip out of joint.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Read it.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
He wrestled and the angel pulled his hip out of joint.
And God said, now that I've changed the structure of
who you are, you can walk out now, Israel. I'm
changing your name from Jacob to Israel, and you're gonna
walk away with a limp. And you're not gonna walk
the same way you used to walk because I've changed
you structurally. You are not the same person inwardly that
(30:25):
you used to be. That's old fashioned repentance right there.
God can change how you walk from now on. Somebody
shout over that. I mean, they told you counseling couldn't
change you. Nobody could change you. A program can't change you.
(30:46):
I'm not against any of those. They can help you
stay on this straight now, but you have to have
a structural change at some point. And the blood and
the cross and the nails and the hammer of Calvary
are the only things that can change you.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Let me close with this.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
In Second Kings, the Bible said that the Israelites were
coming from a battle, and one of the soldiers had
been killed, and they were being chased by the enemy,
and so they took the corpse and threw it in
a cave. And it was the cave where Elishah's bones
(31:35):
were lying. And when the dead soldier of a new
generation touched the old bones of the old prophet, he
touched the old foundation, touched the old structure. Notice this,
any time the structure is there, resurrection power is looking
(32:00):
for an opportunity. Resurrection is always attracted to structure, which
means if the enemy attacks you and your family, as
long as you hold on to the word, and hold
on to the cross, and hold on to the name
the power of the Holy Spirit, I can't promise you
(32:23):
that it.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Won't look like it's dead.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
But I can tell you that what draws resurrection power,
it's always drawn. Yeah, it's bad the new generation, But
if they'll touch the old structure, the old hammer and nail,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
It's not Pap, pap pap. It's hammer and nail.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
The cross, and when they had the passover lamb in Leviticus,
there was a command and Jesus fulfilled this prophecy, said,
when you eat that lamb, make sure when you cook
it and when you prepare it, that you do not
break one of its bones.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
No bones on that lamb was to be broken.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Isn't it amazing that when they took Jesus to Calvary
and hung him on the cross, he had a thief
on one side and a thief on the other side,
and the soldiers, in order to speed the crucifixion process,
would break the knees of the person they were crucifying.
And the Bible said, the soldiers went to break the
(33:28):
knees of the thief on one side, and they broke
his knees, and they went to the other thief and
broke his knees. Would cause the blood to go faster
and cause the person to die. Notice this, on one side,
one represented Adam, broke the knees Adam fell. The other
(33:50):
side represented Lucifer. How do you know it represented Lucifer
because he said that old thief cursed Jesus and said,
if you are the son of God, that's the same
word satan used in the wilderness when Jesus was fasting
forty days and forty nine. So one represents the fall
of Adam. De sind one represents the fall of the
(34:13):
Lucifer from heaven. And they go to break the knees
of Jesus to pass over Lamb and the Bible said
that they stuck a spear in his side. Wat's this
a spear in his side, blood and water.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Gus shall in his side just like Adam.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Just like Adam, Eve is gonna come out of his side,
blood and water, born again. He's gonna get him a
bride out of Adam's side. He's gonna get him a
bride out of jesus bleeding side.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
We are the body of Christ. We are the blood.
We're the bride of Christ.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
But the powerful thing is when they went to break
the knees of Jesus, they said, there's no need to.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Break his knees. He's already dead.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Why because the why couldn't they break his knees Because
the structure couldn't be messed with. And any time the
structure remains, it doesn't matter how bad the situation gets.
If you stay on that firm foundation Resurrection is always attracted.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
To an unbroken foundation. And on the third day he
came up out of the grave, out of the tomb.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
I'm preaching the families. I'm preaching the people. Hell wants
to destroy your family and your marriage, and we've been there,
and I can truly say sometimes you feel like all
you got left is a skeleton. But if the structure stands,
(35:55):
get ready for resurrection, because God's not finished with you
and your family. Mama, quit worrying, quit being afraid, quit worrying.
If you build that foundation under your children, I tell
(36:18):
you today I will build my church. The man with
the hammer and the nail said in the gates of
Hell will not prevail. Hello, I'm Jensen Franklin, and I
(36:38):
want to welcome you to Real America's voice. Maybe you've
been going through some things and you've had moments that
have discouraged you, or maybe you just feel like you've
messed up and you can't recover. This message is for you.
I believe it's going to speak to you this very moment.
(37:00):
Stand do your feed all over at every campus, no
one moving, Please reverently, just stand there for a moment.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
How many of you today would say.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Pastor, my family, I need we are under a severe attack.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Let me see you hand. Just be honest.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
We're going through something some hundreds and hundreds of hands.
Can I challenge you this morning, feel this in my
soul at every campus, to get out of your seat
and come down with your family as much as you
can and stand together and reaffirm the foundation and the
(37:39):
structure the Bible said in Romans, nothing can separate us
from the love of God. Come on, bring it to Jesus.
Bring it to him this morning. Bring it in a
holy atmosphere. Bring it with the word that has been
proclaimed that says resurrection power. There's still structure enough. I
know there's structure that family, or you wouldn't be in
(38:01):
church this morning. Come on, come on. It's not too
late for a miracle. It's not too late for those children.
It's not too late for that marriage. It's not too late.
God can do it. This is beautiful now all over
this room. Lifts your hands up toward Heaven, and I
(38:21):
want you to pray for a moment. I want you
just to say, God, we give you our homes, we
give you our family, we give you our nation, we
give you, Oh God, our church.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
We give it to you.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
We build it on and reaffirmed the foundation. I'm not
building on sand, I'm building on the rock. So we
come back to you today. Some of you, like Sampson,
have been playing with things. Come back to the firm foundation,
to the structure. Let's worship all over this room. Let's
worship him. Let's praise him. Give him your families. Jee go.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Visit God leaves over a.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
What walmy high sus.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Es.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Talk to Jesus about it right and the strength that
you bring, gros sales and do one thing. Pray together,
you know.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
Let's every head bound, every eye closed, every campus.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
If you don't know that, you know, you're saved.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
If you've wandered far, if you're lost, if you've lost
the structure, you've if somehow you've.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Allowed that.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Rock solid foundation to be destroyed in your life, you
can come to him this morning. He's got a hammer,
a nail and a cross, and he'll wash you and
he'll cleanse you, and he'll forgive you.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Pastor you're preaching to me today.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
I need that the firm, unshakable foundation under my life.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
I need to surrender my life to him.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
If that's you boldly lift your hand right where you're standing.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
I'm gonna pray for you, right where you are.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Hands are up all over the room, in every campus,
in the prison. Hallelujah, hallelujah. He loves you, he loves you,
he loves your family, he loves your home. Just keep
that hand high, unashamed. Just raise it high and unashamed.
(41:25):
And look around you. And if you see someone with
their hand, raise gently lay your hand on their shoulder.
There are hundreds, it looks like, across this congregation, and
I'm sure that there.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
Are many, many many out there. Take time to.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Lay your hand on them as an act of support.
Say I stand with you. Pray this prayer out loud.
Everybody at every campus say Jesus. Those of you online,
say Jesus. I surrender my life to you today. Thank
(42:00):
you for that cross, for that hammer, for those nails.
And Lord, I receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken.
I know the winds will come, I know the adversities
will come. But I receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken.
(42:26):
We will stand, we will overcome, we will stand firm
on God's promise. I am forgiven, I am born again,
Give the Lord a mighty, mighty, mighty praise this morning.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
Thank him. Be crazy, I.
Speaker 4 (43:05):
Think, say, I.
Speaker 1 (45:12):
Go to.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
The goden.
Speaker 4 (45:18):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
The dude.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
Is still on the road, says.
Speaker 4 (45:40):
And the voice, uh.
Speaker 2 (45:48):
That is drawn me is the sound.
Speaker 3 (45:58):
Of God.
Speaker 2 (46:02):
Disclose it.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
And he walks with me and he talks.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
Aren't you thank you? How he tells me.
Speaker 1 (46:28):
I am.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
He's old.
Speaker 3 (46:37):
And you.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
We shall has we tell.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
Read there? None other.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
Has ever.
Speaker 4 (47:24):
Step to there in care
Hello, I'm Jensen Franklin, and I'm so glad you're watching
Real America's Voice, and I want to encourage you today
to know that Normally, I know you're used to seeing
the news being broadcast twenty four hours a day all
over the world, but the founder of this network wanted
to take some time on this Sunday and bring some
(00:24):
good news to all the other news. What you do
with the next few moments can affect the years ahead
of your life.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Selena, in listen to this message.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I believe it's going to speak to you, and you're
going to encounter a God who loves you and cares
about you this very moment. If you have your Bibles,
open them with me to the Book of Hebrews, the
twelfth chapter. Hebrews Chapter twelve is where I want to
(00:57):
go this morning, and I want to read a couple
of verses there. I'll begin with verse twenty five of
Hebrews Chapter twelve. This is a great church. It's wonderful
to be here today, it really is. I love this place,
don't you. I love the people, I love the church,
(01:20):
love what God is doing. There were times during the
pandemic where I wondered if I'd ever see the rooms
filled again, I really did. I think every pastor had
that haunting thought that it'll never be the same. But
look what the Lord is doing and has done. To
God be the gold. Let's go down to verse twenty
(01:45):
seven of Hebrews chapter twelve. Now, this yet once more
indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken,
as of things that are made, that the things which
cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we're receiving a
(02:08):
kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace by
which we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I'm so thankful today.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
What he's saying in the first verse is everything this
man made in temporary.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
It's being shaken. We're living in that time.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
We don't know what the next seven months are going
to bring. I feel an uneasiness just a little bit.
What is coming. We've got wars all over the world,
We've got things happening internally. Everything that can be shaken
is being shaken. But we have received the kingdom. Now,
(03:03):
if you haven't, you can't shout on that part. But
if you have received a kingdom that cannot be shaken.
And my family's in that kingdom, my marriage is in
that kingdom, my life is in that kingdom. And it
does not mean that we're immune.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
From trouble and storms and.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Difficulties and adversities. But whatever life brings, I have received
a kingdom, a structure, a foundation that cannot be shaken.
I want to preach today on how to be unshakable,
(03:44):
because you see, the foundation that we build our life
on matters. That's why in Matthew seven it talks about
there are only two foundations that people build their homes
and their lives on. He talks about building your home
on the rock. And he said, and when the rain
(04:06):
descended and the floods came, and the winds blew and
beat on that house, it didn't fall, for it was founded.
It was structured on the rock. But to every one
of these sayings of mine who hears it and they
don't do them, They're like a fool who builds their
house on sand and the rain descended, the floods came.
(04:30):
Notice they go through the same thing. We're not immune.
We don't get a get out of free, get out
of jail, free, get out of pain, free, get out.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Of suffering free card.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Because we're Christians, we're gonna all go through it in life.
But the only difference between the two is what they're
building their lives on. One is sand and one is
the rock. And it said that the one on sand
fell and it was a great fall. The other one
stood through the extreme storm. And you walk into a
(05:05):
room like this in any of our campuses or any home,
you seldom think of structure. You seldom think of foundation.
It really doesn't matter to you. You don't care about
what's under the cement.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
The rowbar, rubar, the.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I'm not a builder, obviously, but you don't think about
all that stuff. Even this building, there's steel and stuff
and all kinds of things that you can't see.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
It's the structure of the building that makes it stand.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
You see the carpet, you see the seats, you see
the stage, you see the lights, etc. But it is
the structure support that holds everything up. It's just like
your body. You see the outward part, the skin, the face,
the hair, the clothes, but it's your skeleton, which is
your structure. If you lose that, you have nothing, You
(06:06):
have nothing. The same is true of a church. The
same is true of a home. And the amazing thing
about storm shelters, extreme storm shelters is when they're giving
the way that they have to be constructed, they're told
(06:28):
not to use air nail guns. I thought that was
interesting that when you're building a hurricane shelter, a shelter
that must absolutely guarantee that it's gonna be there. It'll
be there through terrible storms and hell force winds. There's
(06:51):
nothing wrong with an air nail gun. A nail gun,
there's nothing wrong with it. Pop pop pop pop pop pop,
pop this up quick. I think it's a brief an invention,
and that's good if you want.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
If you want something for.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Ten years, twenty years, thirty years, it might last fifty.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Years with a nail gun. Pop pap pap, pap pap.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
But if you're gonna build something that's gonna endure the
most extreme worse storms, you gotta go not with the
new modern tools that run on batteries, but you gotta
get the old hammer and nail out. It's pretty amazing.
(07:37):
The old method is the one that you want to
trust when the storm comes, when all hell is breaking loose.
I don't need to know that. My whole life is
built on just a pop pop pop of a little
bit of religion. But I need that old hammer and
that nail and that cross. I need something that will
(08:01):
outlast the storm.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
If you're just building a.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Temporary church, pop pop pop, the latest, greatest whatever. But
Free Chapel is not a temporary church. I am not
a cutting edge preacher, and I'm not up here trying
to build a fly by, drive by church. I still
(08:27):
believe the church is essential. I still believe that without
the church, the nation goes to hell. I still believe
without the church, the family disintegrates. I still believe without
the church, the gates of Hell will prevail. And if
(08:48):
you're just building a temporary church, and we've seen them,
pop pop pop pop, use the air gun and it'll
be fine, and it'll last for a little while, and
then like the Tower of Babel, it'll fall. You're not
interested in building that kind of church. If you're going
to build a safe structure that will withstand the storm,
(09:12):
you don't need new gadgets, you don't need new methods.
You need a hammer and you need a nail. You
need something that you know will withstand the storm.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I'm not building a garage.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I can't just have pop pop pop religion. Just come
on Sunday pop and that's it.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And I'm good.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
But it's the hammer in the nail because the carpenter
son said, I will build my church. In Matthew sixteen,
I will build my church, and I'm not gonna use
a nail gun. I God Almighty, am gonna come in
a skin suit.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
To planet Earth.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Bible said Jesus thought it not robbery to be equal
with God. In other words, and then it said all
of the Godhead was in him, all of God put
on an Earth's suit. And for thirty years he did
(10:22):
not preach a sermon. He created the universe, He hung
the world on nothing, He spoke the world into existence,
created man, but now his own planet Earth.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
In skin and flesh and.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Blood, Jesus was one hundred percent out. The flesh part
of Jesus was one hundred percent man, the spirit part
was one hundred percent God. And for thirty years he
doesn't heal, he doesn't do anything. Why because it's not
a pop pop pop nail gun deal. He's building. And
(11:04):
for three and a half years he goes and then
he says, I'm gonna build me a church, and the
devil didn't know that. The thing that he was gonna
use was a hammer, three nails, and two beams called across,
and he said, that will become the structure that if
(11:26):
you build your life on, if you flesh out your life,
as long as the foundation and the structure of your
life is that cross and that hammer and those three
rusty nails and the blood that I shed, I promise
you it's a storm shelter that will withstand anything hell
(11:48):
can bring against you and your family. The Bible put
it like this in Isaiah. No weapon form against you
shall prosper. I want you to clap your hands if
you believe in the foundation that is unshakable. I want
(12:11):
to hear today the words of Jesus. I will build
my church. The gates of hell will not prevail. The
Church is not these buildings. The church is you. The
church is you and your marriage. The church is you
and your family. The church is your children and your grandchildren.
I will build my church with a hammer and a nail.
(12:34):
And it's not gonna be quick. You'll go through things
and sometimes you pray and it's pop pop, and you
get a quick answer. But you know, you're really getting
strong when God allows the hammer and nail to start.
And the hammer and nail is blood, sweat and tears.
The hammer and nails sometimes you miss and it's bloody,
and it's hurtful, and it's painful, and you're suffering, and
(12:56):
you're going.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Through long days and long nights.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
And it's and it's just exhausting. But when God doesn't
give you the quick pop pop nail gun answer, know
that He's building a structure in your family for generations.
This isn't a quick throw up garage. This is a
generational blessing. And every time you open up this book,
(13:20):
you're using the hammer and the nail, and every time
you come to church. It's not just a pop pop,
But this is what we do. This is who we are.
This is what family is supposed to do. Is bring
your family and worship. You are building an eternal house. Hello,
(13:47):
I'm Jensen Franklin, and I want to welcome you to
Real America's Voice. There's something that's gonna happen. I believe
as you watch this program, lean in, listen, and let's
see what God can do in your life. Noah was
commanded by God to build an art for the saving
(14:09):
of his family, The text said, and it was not
a nail air gun. It was a hammer and nail approach.
And it took him one hundred and twenty years. Can
you imagine the people who were making fun off them.
Can you imagine the people who were saying, how stupid?
(14:31):
Why do y'all still go to church? Why do you
still pray? Why do you steal fast? Why do you
still read the Bible. I'm telling you we're living in
that time where the little nail gun religion of just
go to church on Easter and go to church and
love God in your own way and do your own thing.
But there's something to the old method of the hammer
(14:53):
and the nail and just saying we're going, we're going,
And especially if you want a house that's gonna endure.
I cannot promise you you won't go through stuff. I
cannot promise you you kids won't go through stuff. I
cannot promise you your marriage won't go through stuff. I
can promise you that if you're building it on the
right structure and foundation, Hell can hit you with its
(15:17):
best shot. The old wolf, the devil can huff and puff,
but he will not blow your house down because Jesus himself,
the carpenter's son said the gates of the hell. It's
a guarantee your family and your home will still be standing.
Turn to somebody and say, you've got the guarantee.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
That's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I love that when Noah built it, got his family
on inside of it. Everybody was maulking them and making fun.
But you know, the storm came. And when the storm came,
they went in a minority. But they can em out
a majority, and the only thing the storm did was
(16:05):
get rid of their critics. I'm telling you that we
have a structure, folks. I can't even promise you the government.
I can't even promise you the nation is going to
be remaining one hundred years from now. But should the
Lord Terry his coming, the church that he is building
(16:26):
will be alive. It's alive in China, it's alive in Ukraine,
it's alive in Russia, It's alive.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
All over the world.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
They can't snuff it out because it's.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Built to last.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
All of the adjustments the world wants us to make.
They're messing with the structure of the family. God created
them male and female. And when you tell eight years old. Now,
are you sure you want to be a female even
(17:06):
though you're a biological female. You can choose, and if
you don't want to be, we can get some surgery.
You're messing with the structure of the family and even
creation itself. You're messing with the structure. This is dangerous.
(17:28):
These are perilous times. And if you don't agree with it,
and it goes against the core values of who you
are and what you believe, you're somehow a bigot. No,
I'm a person of faith who's building my family upon
the word of God, the rock solid foundation. My generation,
(17:53):
my generation put a man on the moon. This generation
is putting men in women's locker rooms. That's messing with
the structure. That's the skeleton. If you mess with the skeleton,
the whole body collapses and it doesn't happen overnight. But
we're messing with the skeleton. This is not an evil
(18:15):
mean preaching. This is not some kind of This is
not even political. This is biblical. He created the male
and female. And I'm sorry, but the marriage that is
build on the rock is the marriage between a man
and a woman. The marriage that is built on the
(18:39):
rock is the marriage that honors God and says, I
believe in freedom, live like you want to.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Live, but ask for me. In my house, we will
serve the Lord.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I cannot be silent about that.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
It's the structure.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Anything else is sinking saying, come on, now go God.
We cannot just sit back and see the Ten commandments.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Malt, thou shalt not kill.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
The Bible said, if the foundations are destroyed, what will
a nation and a church do and the people of
God do if the foundations the foundations are the foundations,
the structure. We're removing that. We're saying, Ah, thou shalt
(19:36):
not steal. But if you want to go in and
take what you want, because life's not fair, that gives
you a right. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not kill,
Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not sleep with
your girlfriend, your boyfriend. Thou shalt not lie. I shall
(20:01):
honor Thy father, my mother. I shall have no other
gods before me. Well, we don't need to be so absolute,
Yes we do. Neither is there any other name given
whereby men can be saved but the name of Jesus.
I don't know what to tell you. That's that's the foundation.
(20:21):
You cannot mess with the structure. If you mess with
the structure, And what is wrong with the Church is
that we're allowing our foundations and our structures were and
we're so afraid that that we're gonna be penalized in
the workplace or wherever that we're not speaking up.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
But as Christians, we're in a.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Time where we have to say, mm hmm, I'm gonna
stick with the sure foundation. You know, I'm gonna build
it like our forefathers did. Even this nation, it wasn't perfect.
(21:04):
The flesh part is not the but the structure. When
you start dismantling the structure, even of the constitution, the
structure of the Supreme Court, the structure of justice, the structure,
it's going to be filled with abuses. But it's the
structure that makes this nation great. It was built by
(21:30):
people who came and they were not flawless. They had
terrible flaws, but they came saying we want one nation.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Under God. On your money, in God we trust.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
It says that now, if you want to move that
structure out, get ready for a collapse of the economy,
because in God we trust, Oh God, helped me to preach,
and I picked a wrong sermon to preach for the
first time in a new church.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
But so be it.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I'm tired of I'm tired of sugar coating it, and
I'm tired of being quiet. No, this book is right,
this book is on, this book is real, this book
is alive. Culture should not change the church. Culture should
not change the Christian love everybody.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
But stand for what you stand.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I want to ask you, because the problem is.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
You don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
The sad reality is you will not know when you
gave up too much until it's too late and the
storm is upon you. Sampson made a Nazarite vow that
he would not drink wine.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
It was his personal conviction.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
It was a vowel he made to God, and God said,
that's the deal I will honor. I won't drink wine,
I won't touch dead things, I won't cut my hair.
And that's my vow to you of consecration. The next
thing you know, he's drinking the little wine. He's touching
(23:17):
dead things. There's a line the slain and he's reaching
down getting honey out of it, touching dead things. He's
sleeping with his girlfriend Delilah whoops, and I can see
him going back in the gym.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I can still press six hundred. You won't know when
your powers left you once you start.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Messing with the structure of your relationship and convictions with God.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Oh, come on here.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Now once, just keep on comp a little here, a
little there, a little here, a little there. And then
one day the foot You don't know, Samson, how weak
you've become, because it can be deceiving. But suddenly the
felicita and he wished not he's you took himself like
he did other times, but it wasn't there because he
had messed with the structure.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
So much that the spirit had left.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
I'm simply trying to preach to you today that the
structure really matters, the foundation matters. How much music, filthy
music can you listen to before it affects the structure
of who you are? How much filthy pornography can you
look at? And in my generation it was behind the counter,
(24:40):
but in this generation it's in your pocket. And I
shudder for especially the young men, because we didn't have
access to it, but now it's there. So how long
can you mess and dabble with stuff? How long can
you run with the wrong friends. You still can come
church and feel God's presence, and you still I'm not
(25:03):
questioning your relationship with God, but what I am questioning
is how long can you sustain it as you make
more and more and more structural changes about who you
are and the convictions of what you were raised in
that you know are right. But somehow I'll shift this
and change this and change this, and before you know it,
you're not the person you used to be. I tell
(25:28):
you that fear I fear. That's the fear of the Lord.
We need the fear of the Lord back in the church.
We need to We need to understand that anybody can fall,
but unto him who is able to.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Keep us from falling.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
If we stay connected to the skeleton, which is Jesus,
the flesh may fail, but it'll always get back up.
Of course, the structure and foundation is solid. God put
Adam to sleep, and he reached in his side, opened
(26:04):
up his side, and pulled a real bout. You know
why he put out him to sleep because God didn't
want his opinion on how to make his bride.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
And I think that church out now, I believe that
church out. I believe that.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
God's not asking your opinion about his bride. He know
he's a carpenter, and he said, I'm gonna do it
with a hammer and a nail, And I don't care
if you like it or not. You either gonna repent
and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for
the remission of sins and received the Holy Spirit, and
get into my word and love me and forgive and
walk in forgiveness and holiness and separation and live for
(26:45):
me or not. You, I don't care, but you're not
gonna get your opinion is not gonna change. This guy
with the hammer and the nail building the church and
creating a bride.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
And he forms Eve.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Out of the structure of Adam, and he brings her
to him.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
That was and then.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Adam wakes up and he says, your bone of my bone,
your flesh of my flesh, and power comes from that structure.
Did you know that the Bible said in Leviticus that
the life of the flesh is in the blood, and
life comes from blood, and blood comes from your bones.
(27:41):
Bone marrow is what produces blood. And so if you
play around with the structure of the bones, you're going
to get in trouble. The bone structure can choke off
the blood supply. Don't play with the bone structure when
(28:01):
we put when we put rainbow flags out in front
of our church, we're playing with the structure of the
church that Jesus built, and that's choking off the blood.
The bone is what produces the blood. Hello, I'm Jensen Franklin,
(28:30):
and I want to welcome you to Real America's voice.
If you'll give me the next few moments and listen,
you're gonna have the opportunity, I believe, to have a
moment that can change your life. Love everybody, Accept everybody.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
You're welcome here.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
But I'm not going to change the message, the structure,
the foundation. Repent and be baptized and be born again,
and the old things passed away, and behold all things
become you. I could be an adulter, but I've been
born again. I could be alike, but I've been born again.
(29:16):
Same thing for any other lifestyle. Do you know there's
a story in the Old Testament where they didn't handle
the bones of a king right and God sin of famine.
Because when you start changing the structure of a house
(29:37):
and a nation and a home that God has built.
It won't last. Jacob strutted into Bethel and wrestled with God.
He walked in, Jacob and wrestled with God. And God said,
I'm gonna change you, boy, but I'm gonna change you
structurally first, and he pulled his hip out of joint.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Read it.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
He wrestled and the angel pulled his hip out of joint.
And God said, now that I've changed the structure of
who you are, you can walk out now, Israel. I'm
changing your name from Jacob to Israel, and you're gonna
walk away with a limp. And you're not gonna walk
the same way you used to walk because I've changed
you structurally. You are not the same person inwardly that
(30:25):
you used to be. That's old fashioned repentance right there.
God can change how you walk from now on. Somebody
shout over that. I mean, they told you counseling couldn't
change you. Nobody could change you. A program can't change you.
(30:46):
I'm not against any of those. They can help you
stay on this straight now, but you have to have
a structural change at some point. And the blood and
the cross and the nails and the hammer of Calvary
are the only things that can change you.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Let me close with this.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
In Second Kings, the Bible said that the Israelites were
coming from a battle, and one of the soldiers had
been killed, and they were being chased by the enemy,
and so they took the corpse and threw it in
a cave. And it was the cave where Elishah's bones
(31:35):
were lying. And when the dead soldier of a new
generation touched the old bones of the old prophet, he
touched the old foundation, touched the old structure. Notice this,
any time the structure is there, resurrection power is looking
(32:00):
for an opportunity. Resurrection is always attracted to structure, which
means if the enemy attacks you and your family, as
long as you hold on to the word, and hold
on to the cross, and hold on to the name
the power of the Holy Spirit, I can't promise you
(32:23):
that it.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Won't look like it's dead.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
But I can tell you that what draws resurrection power,
it's always drawn. Yeah, it's bad the new generation, But
if they'll touch the old structure, the old hammer and nail,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
It's not Pap, pap pap. It's hammer and nail.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
The cross, and when they had the passover lamb in Leviticus,
there was a command and Jesus fulfilled this prophecy, said,
when you eat that lamb, make sure when you cook
it and when you prepare it, that you do not
break one of its bones.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
No bones on that lamb was to be broken.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Isn't it amazing that when they took Jesus to Calvary
and hung him on the cross, he had a thief
on one side and a thief on the other side,
and the soldiers, in order to speed the crucifixion process,
would break the knees of the person they were crucifying.
And the Bible said, the soldiers went to break the
(33:28):
knees of the thief on one side, and they broke
his knees, and they went to the other thief and
broke his knees. Would cause the blood to go faster
and cause the person to die. Notice this, on one side,
one represented Adam, broke the knees Adam fell. The other
(33:50):
side represented Lucifer. How do you know it represented Lucifer
because he said that old thief cursed Jesus and said,
if you are the son of God, that's the same
word satan used in the wilderness when Jesus was fasting
forty days and forty nine. So one represents the fall
of Adam. De sind one represents the fall of the
(34:13):
Lucifer from heaven. And they go to break the knees
of Jesus to pass over Lamb and the Bible said
that they stuck a spear in his side. Wat's this
a spear in his side, blood and water.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Gus shall in his side just like Adam.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Just like Adam, Eve is gonna come out of his side,
blood and water, born again. He's gonna get him a
bride out of Adam's side. He's gonna get him a
bride out of jesus bleeding side.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
We are the body of Christ. We are the blood.
We're the bride of Christ.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
But the powerful thing is when they went to break
the knees of Jesus, they said, there's no need to.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Break his knees. He's already dead.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Why because the why couldn't they break his knees Because
the structure couldn't be messed with. And any time the
structure remains, it doesn't matter how bad the situation gets.
If you stay on that firm foundation Resurrection is always attracted.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
To an unbroken foundation. And on the third day he
came up out of the grave, out of the tomb.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
I'm preaching the families. I'm preaching the people. Hell wants
to destroy your family and your marriage, and we've been there,
and I can truly say sometimes you feel like all
you got left is a skeleton. But if the structure stands,
(35:55):
get ready for resurrection, because God's not finished with you
and your family. Mama, quit worrying, quit being afraid, quit worrying.
If you build that foundation under your children, I tell
(36:18):
you today I will build my church. The man with
the hammer and the nail said in the gates of
Hell will not prevail. Hello, I'm Jensen Franklin, and I
(36:38):
want to welcome you to Real America's voice. Maybe you've
been going through some things and you've had moments that
have discouraged you, or maybe you just feel like you've
messed up and you can't recover. This message is for you.
I believe it's going to speak to you this very moment.
(37:00):
Stand do your feed all over at every campus, no
one moving, Please reverently, just stand there for a moment.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
How many of you today would say.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Pastor, my family, I need we are under a severe attack.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Let me see you hand. Just be honest.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
We're going through something some hundreds and hundreds of hands.
Can I challenge you this morning, feel this in my
soul at every campus, to get out of your seat
and come down with your family as much as you
can and stand together and reaffirm the foundation and the
(37:39):
structure the Bible said in Romans, nothing can separate us
from the love of God. Come on, bring it to Jesus.
Bring it to him this morning. Bring it in a
holy atmosphere. Bring it with the word that has been
proclaimed that says resurrection power. There's still structure enough. I
know there's structure that family, or you wouldn't be in
(38:01):
church this morning. Come on, come on. It's not too
late for a miracle. It's not too late for those children.
It's not too late for that marriage. It's not too late.
God can do it. This is beautiful now all over
this room. Lifts your hands up toward Heaven, and I
(38:21):
want you to pray for a moment. I want you
just to say, God, we give you our homes, we
give you our family, we give you our nation, we
give you, Oh God, our church.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
We give it to you.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
We build it on and reaffirmed the foundation. I'm not
building on sand, I'm building on the rock. So we
come back to you today. Some of you, like Sampson,
have been playing with things. Come back to the firm foundation,
to the structure. Let's worship all over this room. Let's
worship him. Let's praise him. Give him your families. Jee go.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Visit God leaves over a.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
What walmy high sus.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Es.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Talk to Jesus about it right and the strength that
you bring, gros sales and do one thing. Pray together,
you know.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
Let's every head bound, every eye closed, every campus.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
If you don't know that, you know, you're saved.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
If you've wandered far, if you're lost, if you've lost
the structure, you've if somehow you've.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Allowed that.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Rock solid foundation to be destroyed in your life, you
can come to him this morning. He's got a hammer,
a nail and a cross, and he'll wash you and
he'll cleanse you, and he'll forgive you.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Pastor you're preaching to me today.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
I need that the firm, unshakable foundation under my life.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
I need to surrender my life to him.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
If that's you boldly lift your hand right where you're standing.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
I'm gonna pray for you, right where you are.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Hands are up all over the room, in every campus,
in the prison. Hallelujah, hallelujah. He loves you, he loves you,
he loves your family, he loves your home. Just keep
that hand high, unashamed. Just raise it high and unashamed.
(41:25):
And look around you. And if you see someone with
their hand, raise gently lay your hand on their shoulder.
There are hundreds, it looks like, across this congregation, and
I'm sure that there.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
Are many, many many out there. Take time to.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Lay your hand on them as an act of support.
Say I stand with you. Pray this prayer out loud.
Everybody at every campus say Jesus. Those of you online,
say Jesus. I surrender my life to you today. Thank
(42:00):
you for that cross, for that hammer, for those nails.
And Lord, I receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken.
I know the winds will come, I know the adversities
will come. But I receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken.
(42:26):
We will stand, we will overcome, we will stand firm
on God's promise. I am forgiven, I am born again,
Give the Lord a mighty, mighty, mighty praise this morning.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
